Three Signs You Need Ontology

We've covered what ontology is and how to think about it. But perhaps the most important question hasn't been answered: how do you know if ontology is worth using? When can you get value out of an ontology? In this video, Casey lays out three major signs/symptoms that ontology is right for you. You should consider an ontology if you really value understanding, reusability, and explainability.

Honorable mentions that didn't hit the top three:

• Reasoning
• LLM Shortcomings
• Expertise Matters
• You need a controlled vocabulary or to standardize terms
• You want to iteratively improve your organization's knowledge
